The nutritional habits of perinatal women for consumption of butter and margarine were determined. The study was performed on 231 women by collecting the information about both the consumption of fats used as bread spreads or dish and culinary additives, and the amount of margarine consumed regularly for spreading on bread. The correlation between the nutritional habits and selected socio-economical factors such as place of residence, education, occupation and declared economical status, was analysed. Margarines were found to be used commonly for spreading on bread and were more often used for preparing cakes and cake fillings than butter. These two fats were thus recognized as the most important sources of trans fatty acid isomers taken by the studied women. No correlation was found between the intake of margarine as bread spread and examined socio-economical factors. High consumption of margarines by perinatal women should be considered alarming because of the possibility for the incidence of trans fatty acid isomers in breast milk in the amounts that are danger for the health of their children.
